Another year for the Knicks looks to be spent in mediocrity, as they lost Derrick Rose, their starting point guard last season. With the signing of Joakim Noah being a huge bust, the Knicks are in a bit of a jam, as they have some young talent in Kristaps Porzingis and Dennis Smith Jr., but some aging stars in Carmelo Anthony and Andre Iguodala, who they just signed to a 3-year deal.

Carmelo Anthony still has a no-trade clause in his contract, which means that it is increasingly difficult to move his $26.24M salary. Iguodala adds a defensive star to the Knicks on the wings, something they've lacked for years now. But at age 33, how much gas does the 2-time NBA champion have left in the tank? The Knicks are hoping that Porzingis can take that next step and take the reigns of the offense this season, but it will be hard to accomplish with Carmelo still in town.

Predictions:
Record - 36-46
MVP - Carmelo Anthony
All-Stars - Carmelo Anthony
